Title A name given to the resource Marriage A-La-Mode: 1, The Marriage Settlement Subject The topic of the resource Digital Exhibits Description An account of the resource <p style="font-weight:400;">In this first painting of Hogarth's Marriage A-La-Mode satirical series, Hogarth critiques the transactional nature of aristocratic marriage through dense layers of<span> </span><strong>symbolism.<span> </span></strong>The figures are positioned like chess pieces in a business deal to expose the moral hollowness beneath wealth and title. This is a painting that includes several people. The painting is dark, and the tone is melancholy. There is a bride and groom, with several people talking and engaging with them. The bride looks dismal while the groom is preoccupied with his reflection, disregarding her. There is a man in the foreground with his shoe off and a lawyer speaking into the bride’s ear.</p> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource William Hogarth Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived The National Gallery, London Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Circa 1743 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Public Domian Relation A related resource Marriage A-La-Mode 2-6 Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Dimensions 69.9 × 90.8 cm Language A language of the resource English Type The nature or genre of the resource Physical Object Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context Inventory number NG113 Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Europe 18th Century Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Kennesaw State University, Magdaline Marks 18th Century Arts England Satire
